Many landlords in Nigeria ask for a year's rent upfront, although some offer half-yearly or monthly payment, especially for shortlets and rooms. Besides the rent itself, renters in Nigeria commonly budget for an agency fee, a legal/agreement fee and a refundable caution deposit. Agency and legal fees are often quoted at around 10% of the annual rent each, but this varies by city and landlord, so always ask for the full breakdown in writing before paying anything.
